It was good up until that last line. What does a 13th century painter have to do with the story. And I don’t think he would be speaking 21st century colloquial English. Or am I missing something?

It’s the works of a lesser known crime author; Michael Connelly. He writes about an LAPD detective called Hieronymus Bosch. His mother had a thing for thirteenth century painters. I kinda threw the last line in there for myself.

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification. Then I give it a 4.

Oh, Hercule Poirot. And Sherlock Holmes! All that’s missing is Father Brown. I’ve never heard of Hieronymus Bosch. The name alone is enough to spark my interest. Oh, and I hope Poirot doesn’t find out Caine thinks he’s French. Poirot’s Belgian, if you please. :) Oh, why is Holmes investigating Poirot? Who hired Holmes to do so? Lots of questions…perhaps a sequel &/or prequel are in order? Well done!
